In Poland, Linde Gaz Polska, in cooperation with ArcelorMittal Poland, will build a hydrogen production plant on the premises of the latter’s Krakow branch, which will supply process gas to two galvanizing plants. The Kraków smelter will be able to use hydrogen as early as the end of 2026. The plant will be built near the galvanizing plant, producing hydrogen from natural gas. The investment has already begun, and design work is currently underway. In addition to hydrogen fuel for galvanizing plants, the Krakow branch of ArcelorMittal Poland will also gain another environmental effect – it will completely eliminate ammonia from the process, which will increase the level of process safety of the plants, the company said.
